People need to recognize that any kind of reference is really irrelevant here. There is no "right" order that is better than any other "right" order. I'd personally object to any English language dictionary telling me how my name sorts in the alphabet. (and yes, I do think it's "wrong" that it got sorted after Lyngvig - in Germany, we put the ö as if it was "oe" - unlike the Swedes, which put the very same letter after the rest of the alphabet. So the ö in Chrigström sorts in a different way than the ö in Löwis. If I move to Sweden, the file would have to change :-) Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
